need. Thank you so much.
WE PRAY FOR THE DEAD AND THOSE WHO MOURN THEM :
OLPH FOOD PANTRY – THANK YOU! Your continued response to the Food
Pantry Weekend is much needed and appreciated along with the weekly food
contributions. With the economic problems upon us, there is an increased demand
on our emergency supplies. So thank you so much for all your donations &
especially for your caring attention to this ongoing cause. Recently our supplies are
very low and we sorely need coffee, tea, cereals, peanut butter, spaghetti sauces,
school snacks, Kraft dinners and shelf milk. The next Food Pantry Weekend Blitz
will be May 31/June 1.
OUR PASTORAL HOME CARE GROUP now meets once a month. If you

a residence or hospital, and would like a visit from one of the members of the group,
please call Clare Frenette at 450-692-0246.
THE RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS - (R.C.I.A.) supports

and at the same time to lead every Catholic parishioner to deeper belief and renewal
of his or her Christian faith. For more information please call the parish office.
